I mostly despise authority.
But this story reminds me of the time I was in court for an expired inspection sticker.
Being a young orphaned teen and 1st time driver I honestly didnt know you had to renew the sticker.
After arguing with the judge a minute he told me to just STHU or go to jail.
It doesnt take an Einstein to realize on his turf you had better do as he says.
Even though he was too harsh and probably punished this girl for the previous dozen whos cell phones rang in his court, it is his court room and thats life.
